He needed psychiatric help from the very beginning dawg..

Technically a reread from when i was in the 9th grade so it was interesting to see my old annotations, compared to now. So from a depressed freshman, I felt like a lot of things I read were relatable #silly (not to say that this novel doesn't give comfort and validation for others who do experience mental health issues) however now reading it, this just man be dislike it even more. I can conclude that Yozo is just an insufferable piece of garbage and not human at all! haha get it.

I think Yozo feels as if God was punishing him in the way of seeing humans as the crime and ultimately the root of his unfortunate upbringing. Yozo also holding on to this clowning identity for so long as not only an excuse but a reason to keep blaming others- maybe a coping mechanism? ~ only manifests later into his adult life that creates a deeper/darker outlook on life in general. Overall though it was a fast read to likeness and had some good thinking moments when the narrator wasnt a a POS. ♥

This book is heartbreaking when you read it as a

suicide note.

It’s very deeply troubled and misogynistic. It simply reads like a cry for help. His depiction of

childhood trauma

is so visceral I had to put the book down at a couple points. There’s real heart here but it’s being squeezed. More than anything, I just felt an overwhelming sadness reading it.
